I'm going to pick up a seat for the XB 2moro. I'd rather not put it in a back pack (nor do I have one) think it would be ok to bungee it to the back of the bike? Or should I just borrow a back pack? | ||

Ive bungeed multiple Uly seats to the back of my bike, I don't see what your concern is. | ||

Take the original seat off, & ride there using an inflatable cushion. Install new seat, deflate cushion, ride away. You should be ok, I looked in the owners manual & it doesn't say anywhere "Warning, operating the vehicle with an inflatable cushion, may cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or DEATH" I'm only the genius that thinks of these things, it's up to others to make them work.  | ||

If you follow Mr. G's advice, please post pix. | ||

Yeah, the thing is that with all the heat coming off the engine, the inflatable cushion would expand to about two or three times its normal size after riding for a bit, and you'll have a ride height of about 40". Should be entertaining at least! | ||

There is nothing better than a tire with tits!  | ||

I was at the local Northern Tool looking at tools and such, and I came across a top of the line Honda weed eater that I had been looking for. It was on sale too. So I bought it and toted it out to the parking lot, when I remembered I was on the Uly  . The box was about 18" square and five and a half feet long! Oh well, I had my bungy net and some ratchet straps, so I centered it up across the back seat and headed home. That had to look insane going down the Interstate at 65 mph. I just had to remember to stay in the center of the lane. Twenty five miles later I was home setting up a new weed eater!  So no, I don't see a problem with strapping a seat across there. | ||

Many years ago i was coming home from work and stopped at a yard sale. Saw a tricycle and bought it. Then strapped it on the back of my honda and road home. | ||

Tits with a tyre! Sounds like the women in Western, NY Lots of times have lashed a full sea bag onto a motorcycle, never had a problem. Know your knots or consult a Boy Scout. | ||

You guys crack me up. I went to Santa Cruz to get the seat. It's about 95 miles if I coulda stopped getting side tracked on those nice rodes around Bear creek. Picked up the select seat, switched seats and bungeed the low seat across the saddle bags. Worked fine. The select seat is a major improvement over the low seat. Maybe not as good as a Corbin from what I hear, but for $40 I'm very happy and so is my bum. Plus it was a nice excuse to spend the day riding around santa cruz instead of getting things done around the house. Plus it's a nice bonus that the select seat has the gas escape chanel built in. | ||

Last turkey season, I was at college, and my shotgun was with me at school. It was such a nice day that I decided to ride 3 hours home to go hunting on my Yamaha Vstar that I had at the time. I got all kinds of weird looks at the gun strapped to the back. | ||

yeah, i'm trying to figure out how to get a rifle on the uly to go prairie dog hunting in may... jmkybf, you did have it in a case right? how'd you have it strapped down? maybe grannie could carry it up on the back sitting on her rocker. | ||
| Jmkybf |
Yeah, I had it in a soft case. I put that and a duffel bad on the passenger seat and just strapped both to the backrest with bungees. I just had to remember to stay in the center of the lane. I was surprised at how little it shifted. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Strap it to the right hand fork, dispatch rider stylie. Or bungee'd across the bars to the mirror stalks. Or just across your back with a sling, I guarantee no-one will carve you up! | ||

There is nothing better than a tire with tits! Old saying: "If it's got tires, or tits, one day it will cause you trouble."} | ||

I was at Disney in Florida and saw a dude with a T-shirt that said "If it has tits or tires, your gonna have problems".  |
